Shun the Disease, Not The Name……

Historical events leave behind more than just dates. In case of a Chinese boy, events have given him a name. The Wuhan Morning Post of China reports that a newborn male child has been named “Saddam Deng Sars” by his parents. The first name comes from the fact that the baby was born when the news of the breaking out of Iraq war came. The second name, Deng, is his father’s name. When the child came home from the hospital, everybody in China was talking about SARS. That is how he got his last name.
